Psalmorum 101

1 Psalmus ipsi David. [Misericordiam et judicium cantabo tibi, Domine; psallam,

A Psalm by David. I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, LORD, I will sing praises.

2 et intelligam in via immaculata: quando venies ad me? Perambulabam in innocentia cordis mei, in medio domus meæ.

I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

3 Non proponebam ante oculos meos rem injustam; facientes prævaricationes odivi; non adhæsit mihi

I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

4 cor pravum; declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

5 Detrahentem secreto proximo suo, hunc persequebar: superbo oculo, et insatiabili corde, cum hoc non edebam.

I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.

6 Oculi mei ad fideles terræ, ut sedeant mecum; ambulans in via immaculata, hic mihi ministrabat.

My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.

7 Non habitabit in medio domus meæ qui facit superbiam; qui loquitur iniqua non direxit in conspectu oculorum meorum.

He who practices deceit will not dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood will not be established before my eyes.

8 In matutino interficiebam omnes peccatores terræ, ut disperderem de civitate Domini omnes operantes iniquitatem.]

Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city.
